Homemade Salad Dressings & Fermented Drinks
Ditch the bottled preservatives. My dressings and probiotic-rich ferments are made from scratch in my New Delhi kitchen, using real produce and traditional recipes.

About Fresh Salad Dressings & Ferments
These dressings and ferments are made in limited, small batches, so I typically recommend ordering a day or two in advance. Unlike store-bought versions, you won't find emulsifiers or stabilizers here, just natural separation and raw, honest flavors that need to be shaken well before use.
When you buy mass-produced dressings, you are often paying for shelf-life, not flavor. In my kitchen, I focus on the opposite. Whether it is the Creamy Cilantro Lime or the Jalapeño Honey Mustard, these are emulsions of fresh herbs, high-quality oils, and real produce. Because I do not use commercial stabilizers or artificial preservatives, you will notice the ingredients settle naturally. A quick shake is all it takes to bring the texture back to life.
My Kaanji is a different kind of project. It is a traditional, probiotic-rich fermented drink made from black carrots and beetroots. It is tangy, savory, and excellent for gut health. It is a true seasonal staple that I make fresh during the colder months.
Everything here is strictly made to order to ensure you get the freshest possible product. If you are planning a specific meal or need a certain flavor profile for a gathering, please let me know a day or two in advance so I can prepare a fresh batch for you. Whether you are dressing a summer garden salad or looking for a probiotic boost, everything I make is designed to be eaten, not stored on a shelf for months.
Pickle Pockle
I'm Aarti. Everything I put in these jars, from the zingy cilantro lime dressing to my traditional fermented Kaanji, comes straight from my New Friends Colony kitchen. I don't use shortcuts or chemicals, just recipes I've learned over the years and ingredients I would happily serve at my own dinner table.
